<p>It's really, really sad how often the term "theory" gets taken out of context in these types of debates. It's called equivocation, and all you can really do when faced with it is try your damndest to step back and explain that sometimes, one word can mean more than one thing. Like arms, or train.

Ain't that the truth! It is tempting to argue with them when they make such easily refutable comments though. Anyways at some point i think anyone arguing against them will realize that.

Assuming an intelligent designer created us, it wasn't very intelligent. Take the appendix for example. It has no function in the human body. Why is it still there? Surely an intelligent designer wouldn't make such a large blunder. All the appendix does is cause us a serious amount of pain and a hefty hospital bill when it ruptures. Take a look at the male anatomy. Every male will agree that the testacles are a very sensitive area of the male body. If they are hit enough or get injured it will…

Take a look at the male anatomy. Every male will agree that the testacles are a very sensitive area of the male body. If they are hit enough or get injured it will make a man unable to reproduce. Why would an intelligent designer have such a crucial organ to reproduction outside the body? It just doesn't seem very intelligent at all.<br />

Not really, there was a study of moths (I can't remember where) in a forrest type area that had some sort of factory near by that produced a lot of smoke. Now these moths were about the same color as the trees so that birds couldn't see them and they wouldn't get eaten. However, the filth that the factoy produced made the trees a much darker and the moths would stand out and get eaten by the birds.

Not really, there was a study of moths (I can't remember where) in a forrest type area that had some sort of factory near by that produced a lot of smoke. Now these moths were about the same color as the trees so that birds couldn't see them and they wouldn't get eaten. However, the filth that the factoy produced made the trees a much darker and the moths would stand out and get eaten by the birds. Now this is s problem, however, the people performing this study saw that the moths actually started to get darker to match the trees again, and everything went back to normal. If that were random the moth's would have turned some other color and we would see green moths, but they turned the same color as the trees. Now if this were intelligen design I wonder why it took so long for the moths to change color. It seems to me that an intelligent creator would have the brain to just turn the moths a different color or not let the color of the trees change at all. So what is left? Natural Selection. Of course some of the moths would get a little side effect darkness from the waste produced by this factory and because of this they would survive longer and reproduce. I really wish I could remember more about this study (I'm going to research it so I can give you guys some references, it may take a bit, but I'll do it!), but it seems that the waste, just ass it affected the color of the trees, affected the color of the moths which was able to get passed on to the offspring. Now it doesn't seem to be random to me.<br />
There are other studies that anthropologists have done with organisms like wolves. Why arent the wolves that live on big mountains the same as ones that live closer to sea level? In order to live on a mountain where the air is thin they would need larger lungs and wider nostrills to get more air. So the Ones born with slightly larger lungs/nostrills had a better chance of surviving and could live on a mountain, while the ones that couldn't live closer to sea level. That is why, it is the farthest thing from random that you can get.

Hey mike ,<br />
Yes , mutations are random , but their ability to propagate relies on natural selection . Those extremely rare mutations that are helpful to the organism , will be passed on , otherwise they will disappear .<br />
So , while mutations are indeed randomn , they are filtered through natural selection .
